The state of Europe's seas is 'generally poor' according to the latest report from the #EuropeanEnvironmentAgency https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/marine-messages-2

The #GreatUnravelling is beginning, and we (humans generally) are still doing almost nothing to counteract our colossal generation of greenhouse gases.

Another brilliant contribution on #Brexit from #ChrisGrey.

For better or worse (my opinion on this is clear) we've left the EU. But we now need to discuss what sort of relationship we have with it 👏🇪🇺🤷

Britain to join despised TTP: Wikileaks - "a huge transfer of power from people to big business" - TruePublica https://truepublica.org.uk/united-kingdom/britain-to-join-despised-ttp-wikileaks-a-huge-transfer-of-power-from-people-to-big-business/

@informwales Get ready for a 'no deal' status with the EU from 1 January, and all the 'fun and games' (further mass unemployment, ruin for Welsh farming and fishing etc)

There were just 3 deaths today in Wales from #Covid19Cymru. That equals last Monday's record low since the peak, but of course weekend figures (Sunday & Monday) consistently show under-reporting.
The prediction or 7 or 8 therefore was a little way out.
Prediction for tomorrow: 8. I expect this to be similarly wrong for the same reason.

It took a young graphic designer to embarrass 'girls life' magazine - a US publication - with her alternate version of the cover.

Is the UK magazine industry better than this?

The #EuropeanEnvironmentAgency has published the latest greenhouse gas inventory.

Here's a link to the summary and trends document https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/trends-and-drivers-of-eu-ghg

UK the biggest reduction since 1990. This is probably the last time we'll be included in the data - I'm guessing - because we are no longer a member of the European Environment Agency (though other countries, such as Turkey, are. The irony!)

What's the latest in #Brexit? Find out from the brilliant #ChrisGrey.

"A government which already looks exhausted and incompetent, and acting solely in the interests of a small faction of fanatical nihilists, to drag us into even greater disaster is grotesque. Grotesque in every conceivable way: democratically, intellectually, economically, and morally."

Germany’s labor minister:

“Everyone who wants to and whose job allows it should be able to work in a home office, even when the corona pandemic is over. We are learning in the pandemic how much work can be done from home these days.”
